Snow activities
By Laura Jones
1. Build a quinzhee—the easy version of an igloo. Think winter
cave for grown-ups.
2. Have a snowball war wilh the boy or girl you like.
3. Make unconventional snow angels—snow lizard angels?
4. Write your name in various liquids...like Kool-Aid.
5. Build a snow family.
6. Go human bowling (involves a sled, a fairly steep incline and
your friends).
7. Play king of the ice mountain. More danger = more fun!
8. Sled down Seminary Hill on DC trays.. .1 mean, on the sleds
you already own...
9. Have a bonfire.
10. Mold snowmen over and around Seminary Hill art sculptures.
11. Decorate the snow with paintballs.
12. Decorate squitrels with paintballs.
13. Make icees.
14. Go on an expedition behind Seminary Hill.
15. Build the biggest snowman...ever.
16. Polar dip in Lake Valentine.
17. Make your local slide into an ice run, and then measure the
distance everyone travels as they fly off it.
18. Make a snow mosaic.
19. Pretend to be Calvin and make tiny snowmen, then go
Godzilla on them.
20. Practice getting up from the ground with cross-country skis
on your feet.
21. Build upper body strength digging your car in and out of
various parking lots.

Provost Jay Barnes
tells of undergoing
chemotherapy to
prevent skin cancer
By Cory Streeter
Provost Jay Bames has applied sunscreen to his fair skin^every
day for the last 15 years.
"I have to be extra cautious," he said.
That fact makes it difficult to explain why Barnes, in the midst
of the winter's largest snowfall, resembles a fell-asleep-on-the-
beach-in-the-sun-on-Spring-Break college studenl.
Barnes' current cherry hue is intentional. As a result of his earlier years of exposure to UV rays, Barnes is undergoing chemotherapy as a preventative measure against squamous cell carcinoma, a
form of skin cancer.
Barnes said he wasn't much of a beachgoer as a teen near
Wheaton, 111., but remembers a few trips to the Indiana dunes or
his grandparents' home in Florida, where it didn't take long for him
to turn red and blister. And, according to his dermatologist, 80 percent of the damage to our skin is done by our college years.
"One or two good burns are whal it takes to start this process,"
Barnes said. 'You've got to be careful.. .1 wish someone had lold me
back then that this is the outcome."
The process he referred to is actinic keratosis, which is a scaly,
flaky lesion of the skin that can progress to squamous cell carcinoma. Barnes said actinic keratosis is dry skin that is never affected by
lotion, but always stays flaky. He had many of these lesions burned
off with liquid nitrogen by his dermatologist.
Given his family history of melanoma, the most severe form
of skin cancer, and his increased quantity of actinic keratoses, it
became apparent 14 years ago that Barnes required a more radical
treatment to prevent skin cancer, a treatment which he is repeating
today.
Barnes' dermatologist prescribed a topical form of chemotherapy that is applied nightly to the affected areas for four to six weeks.
At the lime of publication, he will be near the end of five weeks of
chemotherapy.
For Barnes, he applies it to his face, arms, neck, back and chest.
The chemotherapy is absorbed by all the skin, but it attacks the
abnormal skin cells (actinic keratoses) more heavily, leaving behind
dark scabs lhal eventually fall off. This reveals new, healthy skin
free of actinic keratosis and any progression toward squamous cell
carcinoma.
Unfortunately, the chemotherapy that is a preventative measure against years of sunburn "feels like getting a really, really bad
sunburn," Barnes said. A self-proclaimed heavy sleeper, Barnes said
Ceramics students provide 500 handmade
bowls for Union Gospel Mission project
By Monique Champeau
After a year of throwing, glazing and firing, the
ceramics department will turn over hundreds of
bowls this week for Saturday's "Soup for the Homeless Soul" event at the Union Gospel Mission in St.
Paul.
Gary Schroeder, "Belhel Hotel" manager (part
of the Men's Ministry Center), got the idea ihrough
his daughter, whose school had a similar fundraiser.
Nick Gisi, coordinator of the event, approached longtime friend Kirk Freeman, Bethel ceramics professor,
over a year ago to get the ball rolling and collaborate
on the event.
As pari of an ongoing relationship between Belhel students and lhe Union Gospel Mission, Gisi said
Freeman "had been looking for a way to get art students involved at the Mission, and this was a perfect
Jay Barnes continued on page 8
As a matter of fact:
• It took roughly 900 pounds of clay to
produce 500 bowls, which cost about $200.
This cost is negligible, seeing as each semester,
Kirk Freeman goes through five tons (10,000
pounds) of clay for all his classes.
• Bare clay is initially fired in the electric
kiln at a temperature of 1800 degrees Fahrenheit, in a process called bisquing.
• After bisquing, glazed clay is fired at
2300 degrees Fahrenheit in the gas kiln to produce the final product.
• The silicon-based glaze is essentially
a form of glass. Freeman said window glass
would actually melt at a lower temperature
than the 2300 degrees Fahrenheit in which the
glaze is kiln-fired.
Bethel students create bowls for the Union Gospel Mission.
